The Nature and Future of Consciousness with Anil Seth and Erik Hoel

Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience and Director of the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Anil Seth joins scientist and author Erik Hoel for a discussion of the nature and future of consciousness in this exciting SuperSalon.

Long a subject of inquiry, consciousness is much theorized about and now technological developments over the past several decades have given increasing insight into how exactly consciousness happens. This research has wide-ranging impacts for medicine, technology, and society.

In Being You: A New Science of Consciousness, Anil Seth explores the science of how billions of neurons work to create our conscious experience and why we experience life in the first-person. In The World Behind the World: Consciousness, Free Will, and the Limits of Science, Erik Hoel presents the central importance of a theory of consciousness for understanding the brain and the massive implications for the future of neuroscience and technology from a proven theory of consciousness.

Join them for a lively, accessible discussion on the latest in consciousness research, the progress on understanding consciousness neuroscientifically, and the most promising approaches to the science of ourselves.

Some spots for this event are reserved for paid subscribers to Hoel’s Substack, The Intrinsic Perspective and for Interintellect community members. Join today!
